THE sCHUETzEN PARK.
ARitatipg tho Question OF the Sale OF
the Property.

"Wnl the Schuetzen Park be soldr' ia
the question which is agitating every lover
Of that resort. This was the subject Of
conversation Of several OF the most promi-
neht members Of the vereln last evening.
While there was the greatest interest mani
Tested In the perpetuatlon OF the park,
II was evident Il at there are overtures
being made by q syndicate which will prob
ably result In the sale Of the noted resort.
"My plan," said one OF the members, sis
to divide the stock OF this park into 400
shares Of $3.50 each, which will be amply
sufficient to cover Its value. Then the
park would be private property, aud only
holders OF stock would be permitted to
visit the park with their friends, and the
promiscuous gatherings which have at times
been held here would be thing OF the past.
In this way We would continue In the en-
joyment OF the finest park Of the kind In
| the country.n
While this and many kindred schemes
are proposed to save the gathering place
Tor future years, yet there ia financial
| view OF the enterprise which is apt to sink
| II. The verein has not paid the owners OF
property preferred debt Of 900 which
does not bear interest. Then there Is an
additional Indebtedness OF 100000, which
has been at 0 per cent. since 1880, though
no interest has been paid on IL since that
time. The holders OF these securities for this
money want settlement OF some kind.
They do not want to see the years continue
passing and receive no return for their
capital. The plan to organize stock CON-
pany, even if'carried out, would not be as
great profit to the holders Of the securities
rs real estate spectators are ready to offer.
The property contains twelve acres aud Ia
valued at about 100000, and II
is a general feeling among mem
bers OF the committee appointed to
$4,000 be offered for the land, with inter
est paid on the securities held against It, .
bargain will be readily completed, as this Il
probably more than can BIZ got by any
scheme for the perpetuation Of the pleasure
ground. There Is little doubt that thes,
terms will be secured, and In spite o. th'
efforts OF many, che park will be sold.

ex.speaker of the house Of delegates, and
the latter's son, Decoutcey w. Thorn. DIR.
Thom and Warfeld became engaged In a
heated political discussion at the Merchants

he was "the meanest man In Maryland"

and landed a stunning blow on Warleld's
Jaw. Wariield countered with his umbrella,
sQuelching Thom's new derby hat. Both
men then got down to business. They
paid no attention to prize ring rules
and ignored the three minute limit
Warfeld disabled his umbrella In
securing fret blood, and fell back on
his fats. The blows fell thick and fast un-
| til the arrival Of the police, who immedi-
ately decided that sparring with skin tight
| gloves was against the law and placed both
combatants under arrest. The two men
who were bleeding profusely from sundry

the gore from their faces and made them
